I'm not set on any ships and had my doubts about Hermione
liking Ron, but one little scene at the end of GoF made me
see the possibility of Hermione returning Ron's feelings.

It's when Krum says good-bye to H, H, and R, when Ron
finally overcomes his ... (can't think of the right word
here, dislike is not quite right, but being German I can't
come up with anything better atm) and asks for Krum's
autograph.

Here's the part from GoF:
*****************
 He
held out his hand as Fleur had done, shook Harry's hand, and then
Ron's. Ron looked as though he was suffering some sort of painful
internal struggle.
    Krum had already started walking away when Ron burst out,
"Can I have your autograph?"

    Hermione turned away, smiling at the horseless carriages that
were now trundling toward them up the drive, as Krum, looking
surprised but gratified, signed a fragment of parchment for Ron.
*******************

While this is no proof of anything, it made *me* think that
Hermione might not be dead set against more than friendship
with Ron.

He still needs to do a lot of growing up, but then, so does
Hermione, who is *using* the "Krum-thing" in my opinion.
Not sure, what her intentions are, exactly.

I don't mind if none of the ships that are speculated about
ever happen, though <g>.

It's not what's important to me in the HP universe.
